Remember when I wrote about the up and coming drink that is coconut water? Sure you do. Well, tonight I took the plunge and bought a can...bottle...umm...box.
And drank it.
And, well, there were mixed results.
First drink: I was too nervous to really taste it. I'm not exactly a "try new foods" type of guy. But it wasn't as horrible as I thought it might be, so...
Second drink: OK, I tasted it that time. Not bad. The kind I bought was flavored with a bit of passion fruit and it had a slight fruity taste. Mostly bland though. And a touch thick.
Third drink: Still bland. Boring. And thicker.
Fourth drink: It seems to be getting thicker every time I pour some into my mouth. It's a little goopy and nasty. I'm not really digging it at this point. I'm wondering if passion fruit juice with coconut water flavoring might be the way to go.
Fifth drink: It's definitely got the consistency of cough syrup, but with a slightly more disgusting taste.
Sixth drink: You'll have to ask the sink - it got the rest of the glass.
So, in total: Not the worst thing I've ever voluntarily put in my mouth, but just not very good. It's supposed to be great for you, so...maybe dump a bit into some real juice, where the flavor and thickness can be diluted and disguised?
I think I'll stick with Gatorade.
I agree with the bland part! I didn't notice the thickness of it, but then again I only made it to the 2nd sip before giving up on it.
ReplyDeleteI'll stick with the chocolate milk.
Bottoms up!
I would disagree, coconut water is too healthy a drink to pass up. Zico is from concentrate and not the best alternative, I would try Vita Coco for the best in all natural results.
